Netflix is facing a lawsuit seeking at least $105 million after an unreleased Nicolas Cage film was allegedly stolen from its Hollywood offices, with the producers claiming the incident has severely damaged the movie's commercial value.
According to reports, the lawsuit was filed by producer Simon Afram and his company Op-Fortitude. The lawsuit alleges that an unencrypted digital copy of the World War II thriller 'Fortitude' disappeared while it was in Netflix's custody. The producers claim the streaming giant failed to protect the film and delayed informing them that the hard drive had been stolen. Netflix, however, has denied responsibility and accused the filmmakers of trying to extort money.
